Vintage birthday hydrangeas

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. It has been so hot here that I spent most of the afternoon in the craft room instead of doing some chores outside! Here is a card that I made for the Weekend Sketch challenge #86. I really like the colours together and like how the card turned out. I chose my image of hydrangeas from a Lockhart stamp that I purchased probably 2 months ago and have not made the time to ink up, until today. I stamped the image on SU very vanilla with basic gray ink and coloured with Copics, see all of them in their own pic! I really love how you can change the brightness and tone of colours with the neutrals, like the warm grays that I used. I decided to make the berries in this image a red colour to match with the papers I selected from K & Co "Wild Raspberry". The image was cut with a labels 3 Nestability and layered onto the dp and and Baja Blue. Thanks for taking a peek and enjoy the rest of the weekend!Chriss~recipe~

About Me

I am a Canadian gal transplanted from Montreal to Austin, Texas, my home since June 1998. I have a wonderful loving husband who puts up with my passions. I have been gardening almost all of my life and stamping for 10+ years. At night, you can find me knitting almost every night of the year in front of a tv show. We have 2 older children, a daughter 28 yrs. old and a son 23 yrs. old. Our pets are an Australian shepherd mini (Rileigh), a conure (Cappy) and we are taking care of DD's cat, Pearl, as her apartment allows only one pet and she has the Boston Terrier, Elmo .
